RB Leipzig form and stats

The total Bundesliga stats at home this season for RB Leipzig are 4-0-1 (wins-draws-losses). It’s been three wins in a row for Leipzig here at Red Bull Arena, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Leipzig drew their last game, also a home match. Paris Saint Germain was the opponent, 2-2 the score. Dominik Szoboszlai was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Paris Saint Germain after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? A painful moment in the game against Paris Saint Germain was the missed penalty kick from André Silva in the 12th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Christopher Nkunku, an attacker, was the best performer for the team in that fixture, receiving a rating of 8.65 (out of 10). Nkunku scored one goal, hit two key passes and had 31 successful passes (of 38 total).

Before that, Leipzig played out a Bundesliga draw 1-1 when visiting Eintracht Frankfurt.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Leipzig have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost zero.

Borussia Dortmund form and stats

Playing away, Borussia Dortmund have won 2 games, drawn 0 and suffered 2 defeats in the Bundesliga this season. The fact that Borussia Dortmund have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Borussia might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Ajax proved too strong as Borussia Dortmund slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Signal-Iduna-Park. Midfield player Jude Bellingham was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.45/10. Bellingham hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Köln in the Bundesliga.

We have checked recent matches where Borussia have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those one game were zero victories, zero draws and one defeat.

The Borussia manager M. Rose has got the team scoring on the road, with 8 away goals in 4 league matches. Borussia's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
